Crime / Would I Have Been Scammed Or Kidnapped At Mile2 Lagos? by Hopez456(m): 5:38pm On May 10, 2017
After a hectic journey all the way from Ibadan to the Mile 2 park of the inter-state buses, I crossed to the other side of the road so as to board a bus going the Badagry route. I was on the rail track, not long, a middle aged man walked up to me pleading that I describe to him how he's to get to Unity Plaza that he's a foreigner from Benin Republic, He told me that he asked others and that were unwilling to help him because he could not speak the Yoruba Language.

On hearing that, I felt pity for him, my altruistic self was eager to help him although I also did not know where the Unity Plaza is. I thought I could help him locate someone else who might know the place, luckily another man was passing by, we stopped him, asked him if he knew the location my foreigner friend is looking for. He felt reluctant saying "this is Mile 2 nobody go help u na mio gbo mio gbo 'I don't understand 'dem go dey talk).
:
The guy was about to describe the place then my foreigner friend began to mention that he works on a ship, that he has iPhones, Laptops and other electronic stuff he wants to sell that we might be of help because had foreign currencies with him so he wouldn't want to be cheated. The other guy suggested to me that we take to Alaba Int'l Market and from there we would also get our own share. He tried to convince me that it would be a good deal for the two of us since the foreigner is a JJC.

It sounded as a good idea to me but immediately I felt uneasy and uncomfortable with his suggestion, I felt something must be fishy as it was more of collusion by the foreigner and the guy. Reason being that the acclaimed foreigner does not look like one, because I have once lived in Benin Republic hence I to some extent know their mannerism but that of my foreigner was more of a Nigerian.
I immediately decided to walk away without looking back and at the same time holding tight to my wallet and bag.

While in the vehicle to Badagry, I was pondering on what could have happened had I consented that we go to Alaba International market, would i have been scammed or kidnapped?

ThierryJay:


I agree with you that the contractors are partly responsible as the diversions on to the one-way usually result in the head on collisions as seen in this case. What usually happens on the one-way is that the buses and smaller vehicles try to overtake the slower-moving tankers occupying both sides of the lanes. Sometimes there isn't enough space on the one-way to accommodate all of them vehicles overtaking, with no alternative to reverse once committed, the drivers then hope that the other oncoming vehicles somehow back-off, but then it's too late and the collisions occur. The drivers too should be more careful.

So sad 36 lives wasted just like that!
You're very correct. Rcc should do something on time. I'm boiling here. I have witnessed several accidents due to this one way diversion without darmacation by RCC.

For a bus to collide, it means they were following one way. Now look at it. Who is to blame?the drivers who is over speeding, the frsc that could not control and set speed limit on a one way express lane? Or the federal government for there lack of constructing the road and endless awarding of ghost contract?

The contractor handling that part of the road should be held accountable, several accidents have occurred over the past week due to one way diversion without division. this is not the case with J. Berger that divide it's own part, that gives no room for excess over speeding or overtaking. RCC should act fast it's becoming unbearable.

I always get mad each time I am on that road. The contractor (RCC) handling the Ibadan end of the road should borrow a leaf from Julius Berger. They should divide the one way left for vehicles, it's dangerous vehicles facing themselves not even on that road notorious for daredevil tanker drivers.

Yes is true our bus was attacked but we escape narrowly.
Method they use is blocking left half part of the road forccing driver to slow and drive using right part then they use heavy stone hit the windscreen a little in front is a burn bush fire smoke .
Strone throw is to confuse the driver and smoke screen is to force him to slow completely down.they refuse to shot us so as not to cause those luxury behind from hearing gun stot
They had pump action gun
Attach is picture of the luxury taken in the morning.
As you can see two hole on the wind screen.
For those asking for night picture hope you are well.

Our bus is the second to meet them but 1st to escape without been rob
Thank God no harm was done to you guys. It could be the same gang of robbers that robbed travellers early morning of Wednesday on Lagos-Ibadan Express way just after the Shagamu interchange.
The appropriate agencies should see to this, it's becoming worrisome.
